Loved them on my Accord. The OEM stuff on the Accord sucked.
They are the OE pads on my Kiz, nice bite, zero fade and low dust.
Good pads.
The Akebono ceramic pads give off a low-visibility tan dust...but on occasion, I miss the grip of the stock pads. Was definitely a worthwhile tradeoff though: Much less to no dust for a barely perceptible reduction in initial bite/grip compared to stock VW brake pads.
Akebono in particular seems to put out an OEM quality pad.
I'm actually amazed how little these pads dust considering how well they work. Coming from my S6, where the wheels needed cleaning after every ten minutes of driving, I'm impressed!
All I have to add is that I like Akebono Euro Pads.
Akebono's are expensive? News to me. I keep buying them because they offer no noticeable deficiency in braking compared to OEM in day to day driving, while making well less than half the amount of brake dust and come in substantially less expensive than OEM.
I just finished up putting on the front brakes off a 20th AE GTI, calipers, carriers, and lines with A8 rotors. My calipers were rusted to hell. With Akebono pads all around, turned rear rotors and fresh OE fluid, it stops waaaaaaay better than it did!!!
Akebono euro ceramic are good, but I didn't like the lack of a linear feel to them
